After a fun afternoon at the park and a loaded memory card I knew I had to make a layout of this sweet photo of my niece Chloe! And the perfect paper for this project was the super sweet paper from Basic Grey's Eva Collection. I love this collection the pages are in all of my favourite colours and remind me of a gorgeous bouquet of flowers! Make sure to check out all the Printed Packs that are available in the store there is enough paper to choose from and they will make your heart sing!

First, I tore a strip of pink cardstock and crumpled it up a bit and sanded it to give it a nice distressed look! This technique works great if you are using cardstock that has a white core like Core'Dinations Whitewash Cardstock! I then cut a strip of a different patterned paper from Basic Grey's Eva Collection and distressed the edges and when I glued this to my layout I left a small space on top where I did not apply any adhesive making it into a pocket to hold my journaling card.

To finish off the layout I added some pearls from Kaiser Craft, my title, a cute quote and a super sweet flower from Pink Paislee's Fabric Petals from their Winsome Enchanting Collection! These precious petals are so cute you will want to pick up a pack of every colour! And at this price you believe me you can!
